The Puffer Forum

Arrow heads will think nothing of taking a nip out of you, they are wonderful little guys, i adore mine.

My girl ignores her sand prefering nice dark caves and planting, lots of snails to eat, bloodworm and muscles and she is happy!

Having lost one myself recently i know how u must feel. Sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your reply.

She has found a bolt hole under the filter for a new home and is fine, Fry is alive and well and now in the 260:)

I got home last night from an over night work trip to London to find my kids had accidentally unplugged my puffers heater and the water was at about 20 when i got to her. As the other tank had been cycling for a few days but was warmer, and had a mature filter in it i took the remainder of her tank ...

Just a quick update to say she seems fine now, i have caught her out and about hunting snails in her tank twice today, gave her a little bloodworm as she seems to have her appitite back tonight, and thats been demolished. New tank is up and maturing, it already had mature filter media from what was ...

Yeah Rocker I'm serious, she looks so miserable on her own. ( I say she I'm guessing here) She has never shown any aggression to her tank mate, and i doubt she would to another. She is only about an inch and a half long , very thin now after a week and a bit of not eating. I have managed to tempt he...

Unfortunately I came downstairs this morning to find Cheech dead on the floor of the tank. He was not the one with the odd behavior this week, but my bigger, and i thought healthier Savatti. Chong is now sitting in cheeches fave spot sulking and I'm mortified. That's my first puffer lost and I have ...

Well he is still not eating, but he has come down from his spot at the top of the tank and gone back to his cave. Hopefully he might start feeding again soon.

the water test i did was for ammonia 0, nitrate 0 nitrite 0 and pH which came out at 7.6 which is a little higher. I have been feeding bloodworm, prawn, and Mussel with the odd snail thrown in, never the same meal twice in a row and every other day. Edit to clarify* i did try feeding everyday for a ...

My 7 month old suvatti are in a 90l tank (new 260l arriving this week:) They have seemed happy enough in there until this past week when one has started acting oddly. The other is perfectly happy and normal in his behavior. I'm a bit confused as to the problem. The smaller of the 2 has taken to floa...

Could well have been gallons yes, im not great at remembering correct measurments, let alone converting from one set of metrics to another! Thanks boxermum that looks more like it. And mine are only in the 90l till i work out the best way to prep there new tank thats coming soon!

What a stunning puffer! As i recall from getting my 2 you need 30ltrs (British measure sorry don't know the us gallon) per savatti minimum..i have 2 in a 90l and with lots of caves and hiding places, some plant cover and fake slate to break up the line of site and they do just fine with regular wate...

Please do not keep with any other fish my 6 month old suvatti's have shreaded everything i have put in their tank...i have vidio evidence of the mess they make (science made me record it!) of platties and sword tails for a start! I will post it if asked but it is not for the faint of heart! They wil...

Rocker he is blowing both the gravel and the slate at different times. He had another go last night, and then seems to have stopped now. I wonder if as they are so young they are just practicing there skills for when they are old enough. I will try to get some photo's of them this week and post...wo...

I have had a look around, but its late and I could be blind...can anyone point me to info on breeding Suvatti....my Suvatti, which are some of Rockers first batch of captive born puffers.They are 6 months old now and still seem like babies, get on really well and often huddle on top of one and anoth...
